I haven’t been to many to know of they are too notch but I do know that every time we come in there they are all friendly, helpful, and willing to talk to you. They give a military discount and prices already seem to be really good! Thanks guys

By far the best fish store in the metropolitan area. Vast selection, knowledgeable staff. And the owner is a great guy that will help you out if you ask! They also do setups and maintenance for your fish tanks. And they also do custom tanks and special order fish.

Fantastic! We went for the first time today and everyone we spoke to was very kind and knowledgeable! I highly recommend coming here for your salt and freshwater needs. We cannot wait to go back again.Went back recently and as always, loved the expert advice they gave and looking forward to future visits!I learned they offer maintenance through them and also layaway for large tanks!

I have come in twice, I'm new to the hobby and working on setting up my first tank, and everyone here has been so helpful and taken so much time explaining different aspects of getting an ideal set up & selecting plants & fish. Their fish & plants are well taken care of & they have everything you need. Can't recommend them highly enough!

I've been looking for a good store to find some specific fish I picked out for my new aquarium. I was more than happy to find they had everything on my list! Very nice staff and you can tell they do right by the fish here. This is now my go to store!

The staff is very helpful and friendly. They have a great selection of fresh water and salt water fish. There are many different types of decorative rocks and driftwood to choose from. I was there for the fresh water live aquatic plants.

What a surprise! We learned that this company has been around since the 80's. You can tell that they really care about the quality of the fish, the variety and the conditions of the tank. There is a different theme in almost every tank so if you need some inspiration this is the place. If you like to support local businesses this place is worth the drive.

Need to get over and see Jerry at The Fish Place! Great fish and supplies. If you have questions, Jerry and his staff are probably the most knowledgeable around!

Nice selection too bad the employee/s give awful eye contact and even worse at letting a customer feel important even though they're not next in line. Sun May 19th 330 pm

I have spent $100’s here in their pricey fish. I just bought a kinda pricey fish and it died within 48 hours and they wouldn’t replace it. So if the employees hurt the fish taking them out of the tank and they die you loose you money. They lost this customer

Tons of selection with a plethora of knowledge from the staff. Great place that's established and has been around for quite some time now.

Seems that every fish store has it's own personality and I love the feel of The Fish Place. For over 10 years I have done business with Jerry and consistently get friendly and informative help from him and the people that work there. Jerry has ordered some hard to get livestock and they have done well in our tank as have the fish and corals I have purchased on the spot. We bought our 180 tank from him and he and his crew helped us set it up and move it twice, successfully. He's answered my many questions and given me good advice on tank issues. If you are looking for a reliable fish place to shop, be sure to visit the Fish Place.

I got 2 nerite snails... got home and one had a shell that had eroded over much of the shell. Hopefully his new tank with a good ph and mineral level will help... the other was missing a few small pieces. They should be kept in water that will support their shell, its their only protection. And they should be sold at a discount if they have so much erosion.

I drive 2 hours from central texas to come here. Helpful friendly staff. With the largest selection of fish I have ever seen. And if they don have it they will order for you. Very clean and professional environment. They got me a king tiger pelco that I love and did very well.

I love this place! They offer tanks on lay away and I have gotten a tank with them that way. Super friendly and helped me load it in my car. We prefer this store more for hard scape, driftwood and rock, and supplies. You can also find some super cool and rare fish from time to time. But we’re fresh water people. Def stop by and give this shop a look.

From my local list of fish stores in the DFW area, The Fish place ranks number one for both Marine and fresh water. The prices are cheaper than Petco, or any store around the area. The staff know their stuff, I mean, I am educated each time I want something I have little experience with. Very clean shop that you can right away tell they care for their animals.10/10

Service was awesome! Tanks were clean, fish were beautiful and healthy. I bought 6 Angel fish and they are doing great even after an hour drive to get them home.

I love this place! Good people, good fish, and they are always helpful when picking out fish! The employees are all very knowledgeable and always help me get the PROPER fish even if I think I'm smarter than someone who literally works in a fish store. All the bad ratings on this store are form morons who think they know best or have a problem with employees trying to explain how to keep fish alive works.

I'm so glad I have come here. Everyone is very knowledgeable. I have a 55 gal water tank now full of fish.

I was definitely impressed with my first visit. We had great help from one of the employees, who answered our questions, and gave great recommendations. I was impressed with the size of the freshwater section, as I've been disappointed with the lack of variety of freshwater fish in other stores. I especially enjoyed the two shop dogs :)

I’ve been coming to this place since I was a child. It had always been my favorite for fish. I recently came in after not having had fish for quite awhile, looking for some for my son. The owner has always been amazingly sweet and helpful and I’ve never once had an issue until today.The younger gentleman who helped me could not have been more condescending if he’d tried. I asked for 2 tetra from one tank and 2 tetra from another. I’d done this before years ago, and the owner had no issue selling them to me. Why the younger gentleman decided to tell me there would need to be a school of them with the attitude of an adult reprimanding a child is beyond me. He was very short while telling me this, and felt no need to elaborate. Simply giving me the bare minimum of information. I then ask for a Cory Cat, which again I’ve only bought one of from here in the past, and yet again he speaks to me as if I’m a child. After speaking to me this way, he was then EXTREMELY dismissive of me, as though I’ve become an inconvenience. Had he spoken to me like we’re both grown, I’d have bought the 9 in total he’d recommended.This gentleman is a child himself. It’s obvious he’s had exactly zero training in customer service and will absolutely run more customers away. He certainly made sure I won’t be coming back. Unfortunate that the big box stores have better customer service. Seems the Fish Place is going downhill.
